Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by German artist Juergen Teller and Chinese artist Xiang Jing in Hong Kong. In this exhibition both Teller and Xiang explore the idea of desire, yet from opposing perspectives. Teller’s photographs are overladen with indicators of desire, whereas Xiang Jing strips desire away from her sculptures.

Teller’s compositions remove the artifice between the subject and photographer. He uniformly captures all his subjects, from landscapes to his family to supermodels, with an unapologetically gritty style. The artist’s raw and unrefined approach to photography has also served as an influence to major commercial photographers.
